Norwegian political party Rødt is grappling with internal divisions over its defense and NATO policies ahead of its landsmøte (national meeting).

While party leader Marie Sneve Martinussen emphasizes the importance of reducing Norway's reliance on U.

S. and NATO interests, some members, like Joakim Møllersen, are calling for the party to withdraw from a defense agreement made last year.

This agreement, which allocates 611 billion NOK to defense over 12 years, has sparked concerns about Norway's growing ties to NATO.

The debate highlights a broader struggle within Rødt between grassroots activists and parliamentary priorities.

Despite the tensions, Martinussen remains optimistic about achieving 8% voter support in the upcoming elections.
